There might be plenty of drama unfolding inside the Big Brother house, but viewers have also been keeping a close eye on a little romance brewing between two housemates.
Marshy and Kyrah have caught fans’ attention, with viewers hoping their growing connection could turn into something more. And after Marshy made a last-minute dash to save Kyrah from eviction, it’s fair to say the pair have given fans plenty to swoon over.
But they’re not the only housemates who have found themselves at the centre of romance rumours. Ebony and Austin also had a moment, although things took a slightly different turn when Austin made it clear he saw her as a friend.
Speaking to WHO, former housemate Pheobe has shared her thoughts on the relationships forming in the house, revealing whether she thinks the feelings are genuine or simply a case of a reality TV showmance.
Big Brother fans are rooting for Marshy and Kyrah
It’s hard not to get caught up in the Marshy and Kyrah excitement, particularly when you look at how their connection has been developing.
The pair have been spending time together in the house, sharing sweet conversations and getting to know each other away from the usual nominations and challenges. Kyrah has even admitted to Big Brother that she has a crush, giving fans another reason to hope something might blossom.
There is one thing they are both conscious of, however. Kyrah recently came out of a five-year relationship and has said she is enjoying being single. When the pair discussed their connection, she made it clear she wanted to take things slowly. They agreed to see how things go, one day at a time.
Then came the moment that really sent fans into a spin.
During the latest eviction, host Mel Tracina revealed Kyrah was at risk of being the next housemate sent home. Before the opportunity to save her had even properly presented itself, Marshy was already off the couch and racing towards the big red button.
His quick move saved Kyrah from eviction, and viewers couldn’t get enough of the gesture.
“I wanna see these two fall in love, hehe, the way he jumped up and ran for that button… Go kiss him for that,” one fan wrote online.
“They are a cute couple it would be nice to see them together,” another added, while a third declared: “I ship ‘Kyrshy’.”
And it seems the connection hasn’t gone unnoticed by those who shared the house with them.
Pheobe shares her thoughts on the Big Brother showmances
While fans might be quick to label any house connection a showmance, Pheobe believes the feelings between the contestants are genuine.
“I think they’re all very real. I think they all very much care about each other,” she told WHO. “And there could be things that flourish and bloom. But that’s up to them.”
As for Marshy and Kyrah, it seems Pheobe has noticed the connection too. The former housemate believes there is something there, although whether the pair will act on it in front of the cameras is another question.
Ebony and Austin’s romance hits the friend zone
Marshy and Kyrah aren’t the only pair who have had viewers wondering whether romance could be on the cards.
Ebony also appeared to have her eye on Austin, with the pair sharing a few flirty moments in the house. But while Ebony seemed keen to take things further, Austin had already dropped a hint that his feelings might lie elsewhere.
In an earlier Diary Room chat, Austin admitted that Kyrah was the female housemate he liked the most. So when Ebony later tried to organise an ice-cream date with him, things didn’t exactly go to plan.
The moment unfolded by the pool, where Ebony told Austin she could see an ice-cream date in their future. She encouraged him to ask Big Brother to organise the treat, even telling him to “man up” and make it happen.
But Austin wasn’t convinced. He questioned why they needed to go on a date before making his position clear.
“Friends don’t go on dates,” he told her, putting an end to any romantic expectations.
The awkward exchange left some of the other housemates wincing. Later, Austin admitted in the Diary Room that he wasn’t sure whether Ebony genuinely wanted a date or just wanted ice cream.
Despite the rejection, former housemate Pheobe said the pair still share a close bond.
“I know that Ebony and Austin have been friend zoned, but they’re still a force,” she told WHO. “They still really care about each other. And I’m glad they have each other in the house.”
A romance might be off the cards for Ebony and Austin, but they still seem to share a close bond.
